FINALLY! THE WAIT IS ALMOST OVER! Our fresh new single "Needles in Haystacks" is ready for it's worldwide premier on the 13th of July! Our third and final single from the upcoming album will be available on iTunes, Spotify, Rhapsody, Google Play, Amazon, Tidal and very many other online record stores across the globe. The song was first played live a year ago at Camden Rocks Festival and became a favorite for both the band and the fans during our UK tour last September. It took us a while to figure out the arrangement for this one, because we were so used to playing it live as a trio.

Frazer has recorded drums for this one with Tyson Gettel behind the desk and Stephan Kain assisting, bass was done by Dani at his home studio, Dan recorded guitars, keyboards and vocals at our cosy Shed Studio. Our new friend from Australia Julia Lamb played additional lead guitar. Brilliant Stuart Cooney, who is now working on the rest of the album, has done all the mixing. Legendary Andy "Hippy" Baldwin mastered the track at Metropolis Studios in West London. And finally the artwork - traditionally - was created by our "fourth Barricade" Elina Pasok! We can only guess what the album cover will look like!

There will be an interesting video for "Needles in Haystacks" coming up in July! As well as some very exciting gig and tour announcements! So keep your eyes peeled, ladies and gents!

HQ news update: Lots of intense teamwork ahead for Plastic Barricades! Shed Studio is set up and ready for new songs! Goodbuy sunlight, hello creativity! "Voices", "Around the Sun", "Singularity-2045", "Half of your Soul" and "Our favourite delusion" are all in the pipeline. "Needles in Haystacks" and the album version of "9Lives" are in the mixing stages.

If everything goes well and the machines won't rise the album could be ready somewhere in summer or early autumn! It already has a title - but that is still a BIG secret!

P.S. If you won't hear from us in a year or so, then we are probably still locked in the Shed :)

PREMIER! New video for our single "Masterminds" is ready for you!

Filmed during "Masterminds UK Tour" at 13 gigs in 11 cities by our beloved Elina Päsok! That was one FANTASTIC experience! We’ve travelled 3112 miles, met so many lovely people, made new friends and fans, played our favorite songs and couldn’t believe that the audience knew the lyrics and was singing them with us. We’ve shared the stage with the best of British bands and celebrated 1 year since our first gig with Dani and Frazer.

We’ve helped the homeless and got our rear wiper torn off by monkeys in Liverpool, found King Arthur’s round table in Winchester, had two dogs in the audience and a talking parrot in the hotel in Sheffield, tried to speak Welsh in Cardiff, went on air in Bristol, found Harry Potter lair in Oxford, discovered that Converse are not trainers and got almost kicked out of the venue we’ve just played in Nottingham, went to the beach in Brighton, played “dressing room pool” in Leicester, made friends from Brazil in Doncaster and had the time of our lives at the legendary Barfly in London.

Plastic Barricades have packed their hard cases: the band is getting ready to hit the road with “Masterminds UK Tour 2014”. Warm-up gig took place in London’s Battersea Park during Summer Breeze festival last Sunday.

The journey will start on the 15th of August at legendary Lomax in Liverpool and then continue to Sheffield, Winchester, Cardiff, Bristol, Oxford, Brighton and Doncaster. Two very special hometown shows will take place on the 17th of August (The Albert, Mile End, London – UplugTV launch party) and 19th of September (Barfly, Camden, London). The band will play Thunderfest in Bristol, Hub Festival in Cardiff and Hope Festival in Liverpool.

Dan Kert (vocals, guitars, keyboards): “This has been a very eventful year so far. Plastic Barricades have released two singles – “Shine!” and “Masterminds”, got a bunch of pretty impressive reviews and tons of airplay for those; got voted to play a gig at the legendary Hard Rock Cafe London competing in Global Battle of the Bands; won a spot at Camden Rocks Festival; organized our own single launch party at the Old Queen’s Head and spent 3 months booking the tour without any help from outside the band. And now it comes to life, we are ready to go! That is wonderful!”

Fans will have a unique opportunity of buying exclusive and very limited “Shine!” and “Masterminds” CD singles, signed and numbered by the band. Each gig will also have a very special video installation and stage decorations.
